The unknown and unlabeled
We, in general are rather reluctant and uncomfortable to leave something as unlabeled, and unknown. Everyone tries, but having it classified, would it change anything about it?
Of course it is human nature to classify something unknown. It stems from our curiosity, to find out why things are the way they are.
And some other times, I think, it is because of our own anxiety. Insecurity. For some, without having something to hold onto (even though it might be based on blind faith), or without some sort of support in life (a false relationship) it becomes difficult to get by in life. It consoles us in some unimaginable way.
But that’s what it all comes down to in the end, I think. The person’s perspective. It’s the outlook that evolves, not the situation/thing itself.
Opinions are constantly changing, experience teaches one things that they might not have known before… The point of view about a person, relationship or a situation… Those change. Not the thing itself.
